My office desk, LO's dresser, kitchen chairs, TV stand and bookshelf are from Ikea. I also like some of their toys, kitchen stuff and linens.
-
Heck yeah! We have a pretty nice couch and a buffet that we like a lot.
-
I love Ikea. I wish we had one closer! (I used to live like half a mile from one!)
-
! Our house would be an Ikea showroom if I could...
-
I've never even been to ikea. I've never lived close to one.
-
I've never been. I like their stuff, from what people I know have. But it's almost 2 hours away from me.
-
Love Ikea!!!
-
Yup we have a few items from Ikea. I like how the quality is predictable.
-
Yes I shop there. And by shop I mean gorge mysel on Swedish meatballs. There is one literally 2 minutes from my house.
-
@anonysquire: I need to try those!
-
Constantly. Some of their stuff is really decent quality. Their decorative stuff is really fun.
-
@autumnlove: If you like them, you can buy them frozen and make them at home. I've been tempted to buy them but have restrained myself...so far.]]
I really like Ikea. We've a few items from there.
-
I live about an hour from one, but have never been.
-
I've only been once and have never bought anything from there. The closest one is two hours away.
-
Never did til I came here, but yeah. Our couch, bookshelf, coffee table, other chair in LR...and more!
-
It's easier to say in our apartment what isn't Ikea than what is! haha, seriously--everything but a handful is Ikea (our dining room table is the biggest non-Ikea piece, I didn't like their tables when we were looking)
-
I wish I could. IKEA is about 50 driving hours away (including a 5 hour ferry)! Not happening!
-
IKEA is my nemesis. I only buy stuff there as a last resort, because my marriage can not take putting the stuff together.
-
Yes!! Love this place, we have gotten some great items from there. I do agree with @Looch... depending on involvement it's a solo assembly process =)
-
Furnished my office / crafting room with Ikea. Going back in a few weeks to look for some storage solutions for the extra bedroom.
-
Not really. I need to go and get some frames to do a gallery wall but we don't have any furniture.
-
Yes, love, love, love it. I think you just have to choose the right pieces to get your money's worth.
-
We have bookshelves, frames, some chairs, and lots of toys. I LOVE their toys!
-
No, it's pretty far from me so I don't go for little things. And I'm not really a fan of their furniture cause I don't feel like it's built to last or particle board.
-
For items we don't mind tossing out later on or don't want to spend a bunch of money on, like book cases and dressers.
-
DH hates Ikea with a fiery passion. Everytime I suggest going there he flips out! lol! He's into solid wood pieces and antiques more than sleek modern stuff. Plus most of the stuff we've bought from Ikea falls apart.
-
I totally would but our closest one is 3 hours away
-
Oh hell yeah. I love Ikea. We have a bad habit of spending waaaay too much money at Ikea.
-
I kind of do. I wish they had more of a mix of traditional furniture just because that's my style but every few years we find something good there.
-
Nope, we don't have one every remotely close....but I'm seriously considering it for E's next bedroom furniture.
-
No, I have a bookshelf in LO's room, and a REALLY good knife from there, but that's it.
-
Yup, we have quite a few items from IKEA! Including our new butcher block countertops. HIGHLY recommend them. Great quality esp for the price.
-
ive been in one, once...didn't buy anything. i have to drive to canada to get to one.
-
@looch: LOL! I hear you on that one. We don't play well together with Ikea furniture assembly...
I
it though! The closest one is 2hrs away, which is very very good for my wallet. I only make it there a few times a year.
-
Loooove me some Ikea, but I agree that you should be discriminating about what you buy there. I think it's awesome for things like kid's furniture, shelves, etc. that are going to take a beating anyway, or occasional chairs. I wouldn't buy my dining room table there, or my main couch.
-
I like Ikea a lot and usually hit it up about once a year. Our closest one is about 3 and a half hours on a great day, but is in an area with absolutely ridiculous traffic. I actually go by there several times a year on the way to visit friends. My mom wanted me to stop a couple of weeks ago, but my 3.5 hour drive was close to 6 hours at that point and Ikea was the absolute last place I wanted to be!
-
I love Ikea, I wish we lived closer, we are about 2.5 hours away, we need to go for some organizational stuff for the nursery closet....
@regberadaisy: I really tried to convince DH we should do this with our countertops, but we compromised and we will be using it on a bar when we get around to that project, will you post pictures?!
-
@regberadaisy: I want butcher block countertops from Ikea! Trying to convince DH. Do they hold up well? Stain? Pictures?
-
Yes - you just can't beat the prices. (So what if there's 120,000 pieces that you have to put together?)
-
@Arden: they have been so far!!!! They actually come prestained a little FYI! We actually didn't mind the stain so we (unconventional) urethane d the heck out of it bc nothing is waterproof like urethane. And we never cut on our counters so a food grade stain is unnecessary for us.
@MrsStormy: Let me look for a pic bc I shared one on here before.
! Our house would be an Ikea showroom if I could...
